We use a Garmin 12 and a Garmin GPSMap 76S primarily. We also have an Ipaq for keeping logs and use GPXViewer to take cache info in pocket queries with us. The 76S is loaded with Topo Canada maps for areas we aren't familiar with.

I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd post my gear...
I picked up a Lowrance iWay350c with my airmiles. LOVE it. Found a few caches with it, then picked up an older Garmin 12xl on eBay. Between the two, they serve my purposes. I also have my trust Toshiba 330e Pocket PC with the exported html files from GSAK to do the paperless thing.

Lucy was my first GPSr, purchased when I started caching back in 2002. She's old enough that I can only show her in sepia-tones.

She's a Magellan GPS 310. Back in the day, she was state-of-the-art technology. She has the ability of storing 500 Landmarks (now known as waypoints). She stopped working at one point, and I had to go into semi retirement from geocaching.

I then acquired Ethel from a co-worker. Ethel was a step up (or two) from Lucy, a Garmin eTrex Vista. She had mapping capabilities (oooooo).

Soon after Ethel came to live with me, I found a way to fix Lucy. I then had the two to work with. Although, I tend to use Ethel pretty much exclusive, I find Lucy comes in handy when trying to narrow in on a cache. Lucy is getting board-and-room with my friend, ava_ad0re.

In addition to Lucy and Ethel, my friend Mr. Reachy comes in handy when trying to get my hands on any skaven-esque cache.

I think if I get a compass, I'll have to name him Desi ... or Mr. Pointy.

Whoops that's a bit dated. We now use a Garmin GPSMap 60cx as well, with the 12 as backup. We use the GSAK html for cache pages on the Ipaq and keep notes on the 60cx or Ipaq.

Well I have a few - but only basic mapping (if any) and no colour in the lot. I have an early GPS 12 which I really liked for work in the field. Unfortunately I smoked the powersupply - currently being fixed as a RRC project. My next was GPS76 - It floats and fit the bill, I thought for paddling. Really slow in the cold and tends to go through batteries. I bought a GPS 60 from funds from a course I taught - this is the GPS I normally use. It had to be sent back once for repair under warranty. I ran a course a few years ago and someone showed up with a Lowrance - no idea how to get through the menus so bought an IFinder Pro on an end of run sale. I have briefly owned a Magellan 300, Geko 201, and GPS 60CS but they had to go back.

I added the GPSmap 60CX to my collection and love it too! My Garmin GPS V is now installed in my truck tracking system and my very old Garmin GPS III Plus is being played with by Gord who is enjoying the better satilite acquistion it has over his Etrex Venture.

My Christmas present was a Magellan Explorist 500LE.... oh boy, on sale!
I only know the half of it, but I guess I will catch on in time. There needs to be more hours in the day _________________If I love geocaching, why am I on this danged computer?

We're thinking of buying one of these guys. We just can't swing the Garmin 60Cx so...this is what we like the look of - how much are additional maps for cities? Is it true that the basemaps are the same in all the Garmin Products? Do you think we should buy this one?
